They are amazingly beautiful. I love hand piecing, but have not yet been bitten by the EPP bug. Are the pieces joined by running stitch or some other?

Just not willing to pay that much for a book or kit. Have too much other on my plate and in my head. It is beautiful though.

I'm not working on it. The author has a group on Facebook. I joined it just to look at all the beautiful work.

What area in OK are you? Every couple of years I visit the Adair/Pryor area (N/NE of Tulsa).

I pm'ed you the link, not sure the qb rules so didn't post to the thread. Henryetta, directly south of T-town.

It can be done either way, the author does hand piecing w/ a running stitch. I think most do epp, that is what I do. I use the whip stitch, tried the ladder stitch was not happy w/ it and how long it takes me. The whip stitch is nearly invisible, strong and fast.

Oh and I forgot there is at least one lady on the FB group that is piecing by machine, she said something about a narrow zig zag stitch, but didn't give any details that I saw.

I agree, but I had never seen this pattern before. I do mostly charity quilts so I try to make them stunning using simple patterns.
